After connecting to recording device and placing earbud in ear, where does your phone go? Do you place phone on same ear as the earbud?

Use the phone on the same ear where you have the earbud. The microphone picks up your voice as well as the voice on the phone. I write for a newspaper and often record phone interviews while taking notes, either longhand or with a keyboard. Note: Many states require that you notify the person on the other end that you're recording the conversation. One more thing: Be sure to insert the plug into the "Mic" port of your recorder. If you put it in the "ear" port, only your side of the conversation will record.

Yes. The earbud picks up sound from the same location as does your ear. So the phone must be held against the ear that has the earbud.

I don't use it for my phone either. Like the other respondent said, you have to have a phone that has a little hole somewhere on it for such things. I use it for my Bluetooth earpiece. I guess that's a little odd, but I lost one before (a Bluetooth earpiece), so this way, I never lose it.

The device (adapter) plugs into the phone line, perhaps through an unused wall socket or a splitter. The adapter also connects to your computer through a mic jack so the phone line has to be near your computer because it needs your computer to do the recording. I found the connection to be so cumbersome that I haven't gotten it to work yet - keep putting it aside for an opportunity to move my PC closer.

Yes, the mic is somewhere in the headset. I couldnt tell you where. But it does work with your phone plugged in, but placed in a bag.

Your case should have came with an extra small cord. You have plug that into the ear bud hole first then plug your ear buds into that.

The microphone does not necessarily fall away. There's only 7 inches between the right earbud and the mic, and 3.5 inches to the central joiner. Also, when laying down the left earbud wire (and wire to the phone) helps create some friction against your body, so more surface area, less movement overall. This principal should apply to any set of earbuds. When I lay down the mic stays on my chest. If I move around a lot then the microphone "might" move up toward my neck. But with only 7 inches it can't go far; definitely never falls to my side. Finally, a clip is included so the wire can be anchored to your shirt, and with that the mic is definitely not going anywhere. The microphone does not necessarily fall away.

Now I'm really confused! According to the CNET review, this is an "over the ear" type of bluetooth headset. I don't think I can stand to have an earbud stuck in my ear. Nuts, and I was just about to buy the silly thing too! Any ideas out there for those of you who can't stand to have anything stuck in your ears?Help!Carol

I can't really answer that question because of hearing problems, but I can hear very well as long as I place my ear in the correct position! Haven't tried the speaker phone yet, sorry.

By any chance, when you activate it, does it just sound like moderate white noise, but you still hear what's going on outside of the earbuds? Because I have that problem as well, and I too have an Android. The noise-cancellation isn't all that great. If anything, it makes the sound quality worse. Why the noise-cancellation doesn't work well, I don't know. I'll just say the quality of the earbuds isn't the best.

The slit where the phone slides in the arm band is basically where you would plug in the earbud. There are no seperate holes.

You have to put the device in in area where the Velcro strap is and not in the area that is enclosed with the zipper. Then you can put your device in and have the earphones come out the top.

I have not tired using it with a computer. I use it with an Olympus digital voice recorder. Plug it into the mic jack and insert the ear bud in your ear, then hold your phone to your ear like a regular conversation. The phone speaker sound passes through the earbud and it records your voice and the person on the phone with you. I suppose if you are using the computer to record, it is the same process. I've just never done that.

I connect it behind my neck..so the earpiece is on one side of my neck and the connector is on the other side that way it keeps it tight to your ear..

If I have my earbuds I'll answer through them but I just pull the cover all the way around. The phone just snaps in so you could remove it too

microphone is built into the jack that plugs into earphone jack on your phone

I guess it depends upon what kind of Jack you are plugging into. This piece plugs into your phone on one end & to the "head/ear" piece on the other. The phone plug is a standard plug...
